Service Description

1. What is PharmacoGenetic testing? PharmacoGenetic testing analyzes how your genes may affect your body’s response to certain psychiatric medications. This helps guide your provider in selecting medications that may be more effective and better tolerated. 2. What conditions can this test help with? This test can support treatment for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and other mental health conditions where medication is considered. 3. How is the test performed? The test is done with a simple, painless cheek swab in the office or a home-kit is mailed to you-with a prepaid return envelope. The sample is then sent to a certified laboratory for analysis. 4. Is this test required for everyone? No. A psychiatric evaluation is conducted at your initial visit to determine if this test is appropriate and necessary based on your symptoms, treatment history, and current concerns. 5. How long does it take to get results? Results are typically returned within 7 to 14 business days. Your provider will review the findings with you during a follow-up appointment. 6. Will this test tell me which medication to take? The test does not diagnose conditions or prescribe a specific medication. Instead, it provides guidance about how your body may metabolize certain medications, helping your provider make more informed decisions. 7. Is this test covered by insurance? Coverage varies by plan. Some insurances cover part or all of the cost. We will discuss pricing and options with you during your evaluation. 8. Can I still try medication without genetic testing? Yes. Genetic testing is optional and is one tool among many. Your provider can still prescribe effective medications without it, based on clinical guidelines and your individual needs.
